Select Sires Now A Strategic Partner Of The Beef Connection

March 25, 2011 Union, KY – Robert Sand, CEO of The Beef Connection, LLC. (TBC), announced today that Select Sires, Inc. is now a Strategic Partner.

According to Mr. Sand, “One of the cornerstones of The Beef Connection process for improving return on investment for beef cattle producers is the use of exceptional genetics to build high performing herds. Select Sires is a premier supplier of highly fertile, superior genetics, as well as effective reproductive and herd management products and services. TBC Elite Producer Members who use the Select Sires genetics and follow our nutritional protocols will develop high performance heifers and feeder calves. This is an important benefit of TBC’s ongoing data collection and analysis that is used to help producers improve herd performance.”

“Working with Select Sires, we’ve developed a proven, multi-year program that builds and strengthens herds. Year one establishes a baseline for future herd evaluation and the opportunity to select superior AI sired replacement heifers. In year two, AI breeding continuity lets producers select additional, closely related AI sired replacement heifers. During the following years of AI breeding members develop superior replacement heifers that produce feed efficient and quality carcass merit progeny. These heifers become the foundation for the future, and their steer mates typically perform very well in the feed yards and on the grid. All of which adds up to greater return on investment.”

That's why we've developed The Beef Connection Pack of natural supplements to help maximize the absorption of critical nutrients in cattle.

To make this exclusive blend of supplements available to members of The Beef Connection and other Kentucky and Tennessee cattle producers, we're partnering with Kentucky Nutrition Service (KNS). For more than 30 years, KNS has provided quality minerals and vitamins that help improve animal health, wellness and gain.
